Find dead outbound links on any page β€” and win the backlink.

FAQ

Broken Link Finder questions

What counts as a broken link?

Any outbound link on the page that no longer resolves to a working page β€” typically a 404 (not found) or 410 (gone) status, a link to a domain that no longer exists, or one that's unreachable (times out or refuses the connection). Those are the links worth pitching your content to replace.

How many links does it check per scan?

We check the outbound links on the page you paste β€” up to around 45 links per scan. If a page has more, run it and you'll still get the broken ones from the links we checked; scanning a more focused page usually gives the cleanest list.

Is it free?

Yes β€” you can paste a page and check its outbound links for free. Create a free account to scan more pages and use the rest of gpLead's lead and link tools.

Does it crawl my whole site?

No β€” Broken Link Finder works one page at a time. Paste the exact URL of the page whose outbound links you want to check, and we check the links on that single page. It's built for finding pitch opportunities, not auditing an entire website.

Can I use this for cold outreach?

Yes β€” finding a dead link and offering a genuinely better replacement is one of the most welcome outreach angles there is. Keep it relevant and helpful: point to the specific broken link and the page of yours that fits.
